.SH DESCRIPTION
The Cdk radio widget creates a radio list.
The following are functions which
create or manipulate the Cdk radio box widget.
.SH AVAILABLE FUNCTIONS
.TP 5
.B activateCDKRadio
activates the radio widget and lets the user interact with the widget.
The parameter \fBradio\fR is a pointer to a non-NULL radio widget.
If the \fBactions\fR parameter is passed with a non-NULL value, the characters
in the array will be injected into the widget.
To activate the widget
interactively pass in a \fINULL\fR pointer for \fBactions\fR.
If the character entered
into this widget is \fIRETURN\fR or \fITAB\fR then this function will return a
value from 0 to the number of items -1, representing the item selected.
It will also set the widget data \fIexitType\fR to \fIvNORMAL\fR.
If the
character entered into this widget was \fIESCAPE\fR then the widget will return
a value of -1 and the widget data \fIexitType\fR will be set to
\fIvESCAPE_HIT\fR.
.TP 5
.B destroyCDKRadio
removes the widget from the screen and frees memory the object used.
.TP 5
.B drawCDKRadio
draws the radio widget on the screen.
If the \fBbox\fR parameter is true, the widget is drawn with a box.
.TP 5
.B eraseCDKRadio
removes the widget from the screen.
This does \fINOT\fR destroy the widget.
.TP 5
.B getCDKRadioBox
returns true if the widget will be drawn with a box around it.
.TP 5
.B getCDKRadioChoiceCharacter
returns the character being used to draw the selected element in the list.
.TP 5
.B getCDKRadioCurrentItem 
returns the index of the current item.
.TP 5
.B getCDKRadioHighlight
returns the attribute of the highlight bar.
.TP 5
.B getCDKRadioItems
copies the radio box items into the caller's list,
which must be large enough since this function does not allocate it.
It returns the list size.
.TP 5
.B getCDKRadioLeftBrace
returns the character being used to draw the left brace of the selection box.
.TP 5
.B getCDKRadioRightBrace
returns the character being used to draw the right brace of the selection box.
.TP 5
.B getCDKRadioSelectedItem,
returns the selected item of the widget.
.TP 5
.B injectCDKRadio
function injects a single character into the widget.
The parameter \fBradio\fR is a pointer to a non-NULL radio widget.
The parameter \fBcharacter\fR is the character to inject into the widget.
The return value and side-effect (setting the widget data \fIexitType\fP)
depend upon the injected character:
.RS
.TP
\fIRETURN\fP or \fITAB\fR
the function returns
a value ranging from zero to one less than the number of items,
representing the items selected.
The widget data \fIexitType\fR is set to \fIvNORMAL\fR.
.TP
\fIESCAPE\fP
the function returns
-1.
The widget data \fIexitType\fR is set to \fIvESCAPE_HIT\fR.
.TP
Otherwise
unless modified by preprocessing, postprocessing or key bindings,
the function returns
-1.
The widget data \fIexitType\fR is set to \fIvEARLY_EXIT\fR.
.RE
.TP 5
.B moveCDKRadio
moves the given widget to the given position.
The parameters \fBxpos\fR and \fBypos\fR are the new position of the widget.
The parameter \fBxpos\fR may be an integer or one of the pre-defined values
\fITOP\fR, \fIBOTTOM\fR, and \fICENTER\fR.
The parameter \fBypos\fR may be an integer or one of the pre-defined values \fILEFT\fR,
\fIRIGHT\fR, and \fICENTER\fR.
The parameter \fBrelative\fR states whether
the \fBxpos\fR/\fBypos\fR pair is a relative move or an absolute move.
For example, if \fBxpos\fR = 1 and \fBypos\fR = 2 and \fBrelative\fR = \fBTRUE\fR,
then the widget would move one row down and two columns right.
If the value of \fBrelative\fR was \fBFALSE\fR then the widget would move to the position (1,2).
Do not use the values \fITOP\fR, \fIBOTTOM\fR, \fILEFT\fR,
\fIRIGHT\fR, or \fICENTER\fR when \fBrelative\fR = \fITRUE\fR.
(weird things may happen).
The final parameter \fBrefresh\fR is a boolean value which
states whether the widget will get refreshed after the move.
.TP 5
.B newCDKRadio
creates a radio widget and returns a pointer to it.
Parameters:
.RS
.TP 5
\fBscreen\fR
is the screen you wish this widget to be placed in.
.TP 5
\fBxpos\fR
controls the placement of the object along the horizontal axis.
It may be an integer or one of the pre-defined values
\fILEFT\fR, \fIRIGHT\fR, and \fICENTER\fR.
.TP 5
\fBypos\fR
controls the placement of the object along the vertical axis.
It may be an integer or one of the pre-defined values
\fITOP\fR, \fIBOTTOM\fR, and \fICENTER\fR.
.TP 5
\fBspos\fR
tells where the scroll bar is to be placed.
This may be one of three values:
.RS
.TP 5
\fILEFT\fR
puts the scroll bar on the left of the scrolling list.
.TP 5
\fIRIGHT\fR
puts the scroll bar on the right side of the list, and
.TP 5
\fINONE\fR
does not add a scroll bar.
.RE
.TP 5
\fBheight\fR and
\fBwidth\fR
control the height and width of the widget.
If you
provide a value of zero for either of the height or the width, the widget will
be created with the full width and height of the screen.
If you provide a negative
value, the widget will be created the full height or width minus the value provided.
.TP 5
\fBtitle\fR
is the string which will be displayed at the top of the widget.
The title can be more than one line; just provide a carriage return
character at the line break.
.TP 5

is the list of items to display in the radio list.
.TP 5
\fBradioListLength\fR
is the number of elements in the given list.
.TP 5
\fBchoiceCharacter\fR
